A beautiful young romni female friend of mine did a patriotic video on TikTok

It says "how people think we gypsies look like" then she appears and she looks normal not a beggar and says "thats how we really look" the music is a gypsy song, and the text is in serbian... I think she is young, smart and beautiful... I appreciate it.... I know her back when she worked for a roma feminist organization... in serbia.

Yes, there are beggars too. But I still think it's good what she's doing, that she publicly shows her face for Roma, more Roma should do that. Not all Roma engage with Roma, don't even say publicly that they are Roma, or advocate for it. Have you ever heard publicly that Marija Serifovic spoke for Roma? She once said to Turks that she was Turkish, but I heard she was Roma and also read somewhere in some English-language internet, but I didn't hear anything about it publicly. My mother says her mother from Marija looks pretty Roma, maybe half but she has Roma origin.
